2nd Fill - 8 Weeks Post-op

I am 8 weeks post-op now. Feeling pretty good. I saw the scale move in the wrong direction since my last post but when I went to the doctor yesterday for my 2 month post-op I weighed 255.0 pounds. That was a 10 pound weight loss in the 4 weeks since my 1st fill. He was very please. My totals are 40 pound weight loss altogether - 30 of those pounds have been lost since my lap-band surgery on 7/27. I have been doing ok. My hunger varies alot. Some days I actully could "forget to eat", I just am not hungry at all and then other days it's all I can do to not graze all day, I am very hungry all day. I try and roll with the punches, regardless of my hunger level. Either way, I still am following my doctor's instructions. I try to eat 3 meals and 2-3 snacks. Also, I let my hunger dictate how much I am eating.

Here's an example:
Breakfast (8am) - Roast beef roll-up (1 low-carb whole wheat tortila, a slice of cheese, 1/2 serving deli roast beef, and some horseradish sauce), coffee with milk and splenda
Snack - yogurt (sometimes I don't eat a snack now)
Lunch - Roast beef roll-up, fruit or veggies
Snack - Few bites of chicken salad; If I can get out of the house between 2-4 I like to go to Sonic and get an unsweet peach or raspberry flavored tea - I love that stuff
Dinner - very small serving of whatever I cook for my family - I now put my food on a tiny dessert plate
Snack - varies, depends on how hungry I am and whats available; yogurt, roast beef, chicken salad

In the beginning I was really into eating homemade chicken salad. Now I can't get enough of those roast beef roll-ups.

God bless!
